What strings are those?

[Fabio_MIJ]

Can you give me your guess on these strings? The bass sounds amazing, and I suspect they have a role in it. Thank you! Note the octagonal shaped end-pin. Just bare string on the other end.

A couple of things...

Can you provide a pic of the strings at the headstock? Also, measure the length of the E string from the ball end to where it tapers down at the tuner end.

Thanks.

Can you clarify what you mean by "a role"? And also, "octagonal shaped end-pin"? Thanks.

One more thing...

Are those ball ends chrome/silver in color or brass/gold?

Hi Michael! Thanks for the answer, with "a role" I mean that the bass sounds very well also thanks to those strings, that's why I am trying to figure out which brand/model they are.
The ball ends are silver and their shape is sort of "octagonal" since the edges of the cylinder balls are not sharp, nor round, but flatten out.

Best,
Fabio

Do those strings have a fairly flexible feel to them, meaning easy to fret and bend? If so, I would GUESS they could possibly be the Dunlop Super Brights, which, as far as I know, came with all silver ball ends at one point.

Coming back to my other question, regarding the measurement on the E string from the ball end to the taper at the tuner end (= winding length), if they're in fact the Dunlop SBs, it should be around 37.25" (give/take 0.25").

A pic of the headstock would give us a better indication of what it is you’re trying to find out.
